Our Faithful Scribe Finds much TO say and
Says II In a Happy Vein.

Says IL In a Happy Vein.
We have been blessed with good
seasons for the past week, and our
dropping spirits have been very
much improved. Our general
crops was needing rain badly, and
another week would haVo done
greater damages. Corn planted
upon high lands is badly burned
in places, but it is hoped that the
recent rains will give it new vigor
and growth.
Cotton has lost some Of It's fruit,
aud the only thing to be feared is
that there will be more weeds than
fruit. Some of our farmers have Il
few scattering bowls opened, bit is
thought that the intense heat and
dry weather is the immediate
cause, otherwise crops are very
promising.
Your readers will remember the
fi~sh-tadpolc story, which we rcla-
ted seme months ago. 1t will also
be remembered that our good doc
tor utilized his fish-tadp0les by
putting them in his melon beds,
and of course all of us expected a
large yield of this lucious fruit. But
it seems that these curious little
fish arc hard to get rid of, as the
latest intelligence from DIR Fowler
is that instead Of II large yield of
melons, We have u large yield of
t~ad-polcs. Verify they are hard
to utilize. We suppose when the
doctor is ready to gather them in,
they will hop away by tho light of
the moon.
II is said that DR. Fowler, has the
finest carp pond in this saction of
the county. We learn that carp
raising has not been q very sue
ccssful business, but in this instance
the little german fish" has not
only increased their number, but
has turned out n fine yield Of tad
poles.

some Of his chums claims that they

GEO. w. CASSIDY FOR SENATOR.

GEO. w. CASSIDY FOR SENATOR.
The Carson Nevada Union, Of the 18th
instant, says: We embody below the
substance of the remarks made yester.
day in the Senate and Assembly in favor
OF the election of Hon. Geo. w. Cassidy
for the United States Senate. We have
not space to-day to give the able speeches
in full and hence are contented to give a
brief synopsis:
IN H SENATE.
Hon. Robert M. Briggs, in placing
Geo. w. Cassidy in nomination for
United States Senator, said: "Mr.
President: l rise to place in nomination
for the high and exalted position OF
United States Senator a gentleman OF
honor, ability, capacity and integrity;
one who has lived among us for over a
quarter of a century, and in whom the
people have implicit confidence and love
to honor. He is a gentleman who would
do honor to himself and reflect credit on
the State of Nevada if elected to this
high and responsible Office, and that
gentleman is the Hon. Geo. w. Cassidy,
Of Eureka"
Hon. w. J. Westerfield, in %seconding
the nomination of Mr.. Cassidy, said in
substance as follows: "Mr. President:
I second this nomination because it is a
deserving one. Mr.. Cassidy served the
people two terms in Congress, and was
obligingly accommodating to the lowest
and highest of our fellow citizens, never
failing to answer the most insignificant
letters addressed to him in his official
capacity. / do not agree, while | do not
desire to cast any reflections, with the
Senator from Ormsby, when he asserts
that Mr.. Stewart is the most worthy
representative of the whole people of
Nevada. I deny that. I think Mr..
Cassidy would more fully do SO, and
I sincerely regret that he cannot be
elected, because I know him to be an
honest man."
IN THE ASSEMBLY.
Mcconnell of Humboldt placed Geo.
w. Cassidy in nomination, and dwelt
briefly on his public record.
Hon. w. H. A. Pike. in seconding the
nomination Of Mr.. Cassidy, said: "Mr.
Speaker: 1t is a pleasurable duty / per-
form to-day, although a hopeless one.
However, / second this nomination be-
cause l know that Mr.. Cassidy is a man
of the people; for the people and of the
people," He then classes him with the
pioneers of early days, and gave an in.
teresting running account Of his life
from early youth to the half century of
life he has covered, saying that he
drove an ox.team across the plains when
o boy, and from that time on, nearly so
years ago, he had been actively engaged
in every enterprise calculated to benefit

Of the ablest ever sent to Congress from
